After the audio switches off, it suddenly starts to creak. It then starts moving it’s arms. It reaches at you in a vain attempt to grab you. But then the cage lowers it into the water. The bunnyip freezes, and is very slowly pulled down into the abyss. It goes all the way down until it is no longer visible. All you see it murky water.
Imagine you fell in and got stuck under his bottom cage. He goes down, his cage with him, and you’re pushed down into the uncovered unknown mechanic below. DAMN I SCARED MYSELF
The water is just so filthy, like I can see how green it is and don’t get me started on the rust and decay of the thing itself. If you were trapped there, imagine the TASTE of that filth. Ugh.
For people who don’t know, the Bunyip figure is actually about the size of a large van. The door in the background is a good reference for size. A lot of the videos and pictures of this attraction make the Bunyip look smaller than it actually is. Knowing it’s much bigger than it appears makes it much more scarier.
it looks great right up until you see the metal mesh, just the water being about a foot more shallow than it’s meant to be completely ruins the illusion
I’ve never been here and never heard of it in my life but like...I wish I got to go here when the water was dirty. I’m fascinated by animatronics in water, especially when they aren’t in the best shape. While looking at it, I find it odd that it went all the way out of the water like that, especially since it doesn’t seem to do that in other videos, as well as the fact that it should have gone back down sooner than it did. I also find it interesting how it didn’t seem to go back down in the proper way at the end. It looks more like it was falling rather than being pushed back under. Hmm.
This is going to sound so random and I'm posting this on a lot of videos bc i need to know! The original bunyip, what did it sound like?? Was it the same recording as this? I keep seeing it apparently sounded much much louder than this one? Was it a different recording or is this the same/simmilar? Can someone please describe it? xD
Except that was when it was dirty. Later times, the animatronic malfunction and leaked oil... Dying the ‘animatronic’ completely black. (That’s kind of funny, as that’s a realistic problem. Water oil spills...) Cast members saw this and then cleaned Burt the Bunyip, so he wasn’t black. He is still functional and running today.
@Disbelief Paps i believe since bert (bertha during 82') was female when the bunyip baby was created, it would likely be a male as to balence the genders. But that is my theory the baby bunyin doesn't have a gender
Back in years ago this wasn’t abandoned and the water is nice and clean but this animatronic is obviously Not abandoned back then so a few years later the eye became dirty and so is the water, I think it might be going to demolish or get repair because this animatronic is *broken*
anyone that remembers the 2017 oil leak knows that it took Creature from the Black Lagoon to the literal level Edit: The only thing that I think is truly animatronic is the movement up and down of Bert since the arms and jaw appear to be nonmechanical parts, meaning buoyancy makes the arms and jaw retract once it goes deep enough underwater.
1. they repaired/painted it 2. no coin needed 3. my childhood I still go there I love in Australia and I would never want to live somewhere else for over 2 years
I’ve already tried I tried everything making a new data putting it on a new computer putting it on an old 1971 computer it’s not working I tried everything it’s not working but I have it and I’m going to post a sound of what the original roar sounded like With sound effects but not as loud
This was actually at a time when Bert was slightly broken, because the cage would be lifted up too high so that you could see it. In the actual attraction, no acage should be seen under the bunyip, and it's lower half should still be submerged.
funny how as soon as that submechonophobia animatronics video released everybody in this comment section has submechonophobia now, even though I guarantee if they saw a cardboard box floating through the ocean they would be fine
PurpleAki Well, for me at least, I just find it haunting seeing old, broken-down animatronics in the water. I imagine them moving around down there, watching and waiting for something to get close enough for the thing to pull it down and drown it. It also makes my skin crawl thinking about being in the water with one of those. Like what if you were in some deep, murky water at an abandoned theme park and the only thing you see is a massive, dilapidated robot with lifeless eyes, surrounded by the rotting corpses of the people it decided to pull down.
Except when you see the people standing in front of it, and that the Bunyip isn't actually enormous, the door is just very small, which ruins the magic of it all.
I don’t have submechanophobia but holy shit just imagine how big that thing is- there is a door in the back that’s normal size _COMPARED_ to how big Bert/Bertha the Bunyip is.
the murky water makes this so much worse honestly
Yea, the water looks like my shit when I get diarrhea.
The original was worse
You mean worse as in lesser quality or more disturbing?
Phorchy Bug yeah the old one was installed in 1972
I’m sorry but- your profile photo 😳😳😳
Now I know why submechanophobia is a thing
Because it's unnatural and usually has decaying mechanical appliances
Someone needs to go on the Jaws Ride(Rip Universal Florida). If you fell over technically multiple Robot Sharks ready to move whenever

actually its not the water but the animatronic wich goes higher than usual.
Yeah, it was broken at the time and you arent supposed to be able to see past the head. Normally, no cage is seen and the whole body isn't in view
Did someone mess with animatronic and now it goes up more then it supposed to go?

I read some vandals broke in at some point and idk what they did but the audio woudl never stop, imagine hearing that all night long
the part that scared me the most for some reason, was when the bunyip submerged itself in the water again
The way it is just not moving and just staring at you as it roars is unsettling.
